Checking in was easy—all was done online, texts, and emails. The key box was easy to find and operate. The house was well appointed with 4 en-suite bathrooms. There was a hot tub and fire pit, grill, and deck with a swing and plenty of outdoor seating. The kitchen was fully equipped—it was just like being home, but better. Log cabin, rustic feel to it was excellent. Isolated—could not see another property from any vantage point. Completely surrounded by trees—nice and quiet.

Description says community pool, no pool

The house was lovely. But the door DOESNT LOCK. 7 young, out of state, women were staying in an unfamiliar environment in a house that didn’t lock. We were so creeped out by that. The check in process was supposed to include a lock box that held a key BUT THE KEY WAS IN THE DOOR WHEN WE ARRIVED and there were two key pads there that wouldn’t lock the door no matter how much we entered the code. The office employees were nice and easy to discuss this with. They sent someone over the next afternoon but we had to leave before they got there- the problem wasn’t fixed although their instructions said it was. We love the area but cannot recommend the Bears Lair just because of that single safety concern. There are not many complaints other than the door not locking and there being very very very poor wifi connection.
